It's in sort of a weird intermediate space - it does have a federated protocol, but currently the main bluesky server is the only thing on it.

Yeah so effectively not federated. Pretty sure they're not actually interested in federating anyway

It's supposed to happen relatively soon I think https://bsky.social/about/blog/11-15-2023-toward-federation

As I understand it thats just federation within their own protocol, however I have seen on Mastodon a group of devs working on bridging the protocols. My canary in the coal mine for Bluesky is how the treat that dev team and so far it seems they're just letting them do their thing.

That project is called Bridgy Fed.

Oh that's wonderful that the idea is getting recognition like that.

They started moving people to the Federated server last year to test things. I didn't see this article but people were openly talking about moving over on Bluesky. So thanks for posting this because I always see people say it's not getting Federated on Lemmy, but see people on Bluesky say it is, confusing.

It seems like the people running it are pretty ideologically committed to the federation concept, I'd be surprised if it was never implemented. They seem to hope it will resolve some of the moderation problems that plagued twitter.
